WC 2010 Draw SoundOff: Which Teams Do You Think Will…

Posted: 05 Dec 2009 07:10 AM PST

italy wcFor our SoundOff today, now that the WC draw is over, we’d like your thoughts on how you think the 2010 World Cup is going to pan out. Specifically, who do you think will…

1. …be the two teams to make it out of the group stage in each group, A-H? (Groups listed at the bottom)

2. …be the two teams to make the final?

3. …win the Cup?

4. …be the biggest disappointment? (a high-ranked team which will do less well than expected)

5. …be the biggest positive surprise? (a lower-ranked team that will do better than expected. Think: Turkey in Euro 2008.)

6. …be the team(s) which will go out in the Group stage, but which would have advanced in another group?

7. …be the team which will advance despite playing butt-numbingly boring football?

8. …be the Golden Boot? (top scoring player)

9. …receive the Ballon d’Or? Golden Ball? (most valuable player)
